Black Mountain Blues

The Complete Recordings, Vol. 4

Bessie Smith

歌词

Back in Black Mountain, a child will smack your face

Babies cryin' for liquor, and all the birds sing bass

Black Mountain people are bad as they can be

They uses gunpowder just to sweeten their tea

Back in Black Mountain, can't keep a man in jail

If the jury finds him guilty, the judge'll throw they bail

Had a man in Black Mountain, sweetest man in town

Had a man in Black Mountain, the sweetest man in town

He met a city gal, and he throwed me down

I'm bound for Black Mountain, me and my razor and my gun

Lord, I'm bound for Black Mountain, me and my razor and gun

I'm gonna shoot him if he stands still, and cut him if he runs

Down in Black Mountain, they all shoot quick and straight

The bullet'll get you, if you start dodgin' too late

Got the devil in my soul, and I'm full of bad booze

I'm out here for trouble, I've got the Black Mountain blues

Note: I'm unsure of the underlined/blank lyrics-- any idea?

to provide money for someone's bail is to "throw" their (they) bail.
